Including both critical and creative work written within and about “small countries,” this issue considers the impact of literature on the maintenance and reinvigoration of cultural and national identities and the importance of remembering regional linguistic and cultural differences. In “Even the Least of These,” Hugh MacDiarmid stresses the importance of centring the literatures outside of the “big five,” a task the essays herein take up.
